There are many formidable bugs wandering around the island in Fortnite, but none are as dangerous and deadly as the mighty Queen. She's a tough one to find and defeat, but slaying the Queen is a crucial quest you need to get done.
This is one of the trickier quests you'll face, as the Queen isn't always present for you to defeat. Instead, you must work to summon her, then engage in a mighty boss battle to take her out. If you're having trouble finding this foe, here's how to slay the Queen in Fortnite Chapter Six, season four.

Queen location in Fortnite
You can find the Queen at multiple infested POIs around the island. The locations where you can find her are marked with a small white bug icon that looks exactly like her. You can check for this icon on the map upon loading in to see where she's at.
The Queen can only appear at three locations, including The Hive, Ranger's Ruin, and Demon's Domain. The loot you get for defeating her varies at each location, so choose where you fight carefully depending on what type of rewards you're seeking.
You'll know a Queen is nearby if you see a health bar with the phrase "Neutralize the threat!" above it. Once you take out bugs and pods around the area to fully drain this bar, it will be replaced by one that says "Slay the Queen!" instead, as she appears to defend her fellow bugs.
Slay the Queen in Fortnite
Once the Queen appears, all you need to do to get rid of her is fire at her with everything you've got. Other players, both those on your team and the enemy team, can also attack her, so taking her down can be a group effort. There's no special trick or method for defeating her, so just keep attacking her until the health bar is completely drained.
What does the Queen drop in Fortnite?
The Queen drops one of three special Medallions and a Mythic weapon, depending on where you find and face her. The three Medallions you may get for defeating her are as follows.
- Defeat the Queen at Ranger's Ruin to get the Carapace Medallion, which grants you shield regeneration and 50 health each time you eliminate an enemy player. You also get the Mythic Sweeper Shotgun.
- Defeat the Queen at The Hive to get the Springleg Medallion, which gives you the ability to double jump with fall damage immunity. You also get the Mythic O.X.R. Assault Rifle.
- Defeat the Queen at Demon's Debris to get the Carapace Medallion, which grants you shield regeneration and 50 health each time you eliminate an enemy player. You also get the Mythic Sweeper Shotgun.
There's plenty more to get done around the island after besting the Queen in battle. Next, you might work on increasing your OXR Rank or claiming Capture Points.
